Here’s what I’ve been up to tonight — listing some of my many architectural creations in second life.
They can be carried as virtual charms, or actually set up in a second life environment. You can rent them for about $20 a month, often even less, and there’s enough room in there for several villagers.
What I thought might work is to set up a small village, not too many prims, for maybe 20 people, each contributing a dollar a month to the Village Project, under someone’s private ownership, so it can develop commercially.
My thought was a shopping village that’s open only two hours per week, on either Saturday or Sunday.
Goods can be displayed and purchased directly from the in-game environment, and payment is automatic and instantaneous, exchanging lindens for an item that goes into the inventory of the buyer.
The spaces could function in many different ways on a social dynamic level. Commercially, I can’t say as much, but these have functions in the MetaVerse — it can be translated into the metaverse language, or just plain copied.
That’s where good design comes in.
Now, what about making some things and putting them up on the marketplace, and making a virtual exhibition showroom out of the results?
That’s exactly what I’m doing here as an indication of just one possible direction this could take, and the rest is up to you to figure out.
See You At The Top!!!
